5 out of 5 stars

This bag is amazing. The quality of leather and craftsmanship is simply thr best. It will be my companion for many years because it handles crazy adventures, I can run through the airport (backpack mode), hike, hit the farmers market or pack overnight for parts unknown. Totally in love.

Nomadic Goods for Adventurers and Vagabonds

Heirloom Leather Goods Handmade in Brooklyn

My father taught me how to work with wood, and my mother taught me how work with fabric. Leather is the natural melding of those two mediums.

My aesthetic blends my Scandinavian heritage, Midwestern practicality, and Brooklyn balls. I use quality materials and robust, minimalist designs. No, zippers, snaps, or other elements that are always the first to wear out or break.

My pieces feel like heirlooms the day they arrive, and only get better. My quality leather items take on character from the way you wear and care for it, so they will become more special as the years go by - just like you.

Whether your next adventure takes you around the world, or just to class - you deserve a travel companion who is as tough, resilient, and unique as you. Look around my shop and find your's.
